Block paving repairs in Wilmslow: the local picture
Wilmslow is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

What does a block paving repair involve?
Most small repairs can be priced from clear photos and a measurement. If the problem is a symptom of something deeper, such as a failed edge or a soft sub-base, we will say so rather than patching over it, and price the proper fix alongside.
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
Before we price your block paving repair
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

Repairs in Wilmslow: questions
Can you repair block paving in Wilmslow without replacing it?
Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
Do you cover Macclesfield, Congleton and Northwich?
Yes. We cover Wilmslow and the places around it, including Macclesfield, Congleton and Northwich, and the rest of Cheshire.
Why does block paving sink?
Most dips come from a thin or poorly compacted sub-base, too much sand under the blocks, failed edging, or water washing material out from a broken drain.
Can you send someone just to look?
For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.
